Excessive use of synthetic fertilizers in industrial polluting agriculture contributes to climate change.

The solution

We believe that ecological farming is the solution. In a nutshell, it refers to ensuring healthy farming and food for today and tomorrow, by protecting soil, water and climate, promoting biodiversity, and not contaminating the environment with chemical inputs or genetic engineering.

Some benefits of ecologic farming:

It keeps farming food production in the hands of farmers and away from corporate control.

Ecological farming helps cope with climate change.

Some 2.6 billion small-scale farmers already produce the majority of the world's food.

Ecological farming is proven to be more profitable for farmers in studies from Europe, Africa, Asia and America.
